    I think I've onboarded with about 230 brokers in the last 7 years. I've had two ever deny me for having Progressive and that was fairly recently.

    I don't remember who.

    My son in law switched from Northland to Progressive to save money. He was paying $8000 to be at $5500 now. He could have done better - $4700, if paid all at once, even more, if he let them hook up to his ELD. That's a nice low premium. Maybe a promo?
    There could be an unpleasent suprise comes the renewal time, if they double that but I told him to enjoy the savings for now - $5500 sounds unreal. If they jack up the premium, shop for something else.
    As far as problems with brokers, none reported so far.

    1st year in they quoted me 29k in payments 25k cash progressive is a terrible company. Had a not at fault accident in 2021 had Northland. Was paying 9k a year for my own authority. Progressive was the only one who would give me insurance after it was 19k in payments 16k cash last quote for 2024 was 23k cash. I said screw it closed the company
